Greenlight Insight: Nokia 3310 goes on sale in the UK - the impact of nostalgia in marketing

Nokia 3310

One of the most highly anticipated mobile phones of the year is finally here - and it's a £50 plastic device with an alphanumeric keyboard and 2G connectivity.

First unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February, the Nokia 3310 from HMD Global is a throwback to the days when phones were 'dumb' and the closest thing to an app was the game Snake.

The new phone mimics the design of the original handset, which launched in the year 2000, but is slimmer and lighter with a 2.4-inch colour display and two-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Merkle Periscopix teamed up with Imperial War Museums' London branch to help website content creators understand how users were engaging with interactive page content via Google Analytics Event tracking, reporting/insights dashboards and training tailored to the data and stakeholders.

Builtvisible Case Study: Love the Sales brings organic rankings back from the brink

Watching one of your major revenue streams disappear in a day is enough to give any digital marketer a sleepless night. This is the predicament Love the Sales found themselves in when they saw a 68% drop in organic rankings across all devices on a single day.

They needed immediate advice on how to fix this issue as organic is such a vital revenue stream for the business.

Time was of the essence, so Builtvisible undertook a preliminary investigation and gave Love the Sales a clear idea of the best route forwards at the pair's first meeting. Following this up with a comprehensive log file analysis and technical audit revealed three separate factors at play that were negatively affecting the brand's organic performance.

These days there are digital tools to help business owners manage tasks across most areas of business. Here are some key services to help streamline communications, project management, social media, data management and more.

As mentioned in Web Design Trends for 2017, the carousel's time is up.

They have always been bad for SEO, users don’t engage with them, they can easily be mistaken as adverts, create banner blindness, flicker, decrease readability and slow down the download time. Overall, not very user friendly.

So, why have carousels even been used before, what is the idea behind them and can they be improved?

Their best feature is that they create space where there isn’t any. Using carousels makes it easy to highlight more than one offer and it can potentially be a good way to make the user engage. It is just not doing it in the most efficient way.
